Law, Film and Visual Culture is a deliberately alternative approach to the traditional study of law, both in terms of the basic materials used to ground an approach to the topics under study, and in the teaching arrangements. It is an attempt to foster a developed spirit and capacity in critical intelligence in relation to the cultural make-up of the social environment and thus aims for wide applicability and to break the notion of law as confined to a specific arena.

As well as critically addressing this range of issues, it also provides insights into the forces that shape family law, and render it less of a private area of activity than is sometimes thought.

Computer and Internet Law

Status: O

Year: 4

This module is optional

The use of computer and the internet is integral to the social, educational, cultural and economic dynamics of contemporary society. Governments around the world are cognisant of the central role of the networked computer systems in the society, and have actively made policy aimed at enabling access to the internet and bridging digital divides. There are also laws and legislations in place to combat the increasing scourge of computer related criminal activities, such as computer hacking, theft of digital and intellectual property, unsolicited commercial electronic mail, and illegal download of digital copyright works.

Therefore, the main rationale of the computer and internet law module is to teach students the relevant principles and concepts of law pertaining to the use of computer and the internet in the United Kingdom, the European Union and selected international jurisdictions. While some of these legal concepts are traditional and familiar common law concepts, others are novel and new improvisations especially designed for new regulatory challenges posed by the widespread use of networked computers. These range from unauthorised access and use of computing facilities; computer crimes; property rights in software and data; privacy rights in data; network neutrality; legal status of software: unsolicited commercial electronic mail; access and free speech rights data and network; pornography; to electronic surveillance and monitoring. The aforesaid legal problems will be discussed at lectures and seminar sessions.

Street Law

Status: O

Year: 5

This module is optional

Street Law is a practical, placement based law module to allow students to develop their legal skills outside the classroom, and appreciate law in society. The module is based primarily in schools groups where students work in pairs over an 8 week placement period and 'teach' law to young people, act as a resource for schools and their pupils, and work with schools and young people to develop subject appropriate information sessions. The practical, professional and transferable skills gained from this are unique to this module and provide students with the opportunity to see first hand how law can impact on young people's attitudes and knowledge, as well as providing students with the academic development necessary for a level 6 module.

Human Rights Law

Status: O

Year: 5

This module is optional

The module builds on other law modules in terms of examining fundamental principles underlying the legislative process as a whole.

Law of Armed Conflict

Status: O

Year: 5

This module is optional

This module examines the role of international humanitarian law in situations of armed conflict and the extent to which it applies to military operations in societies emerging from conflict.

Legal Practice (UG Law Clinic)

Status: O

Year: 5

This module is optional

This module is taught using clinical legal education and is designed to introduce students to the knowledge and skills required for legal practice. Through the facts of a mock social security case, students will open and manage a client file, conduct a client interview, identify the relevant legal issues, research the legal issues, determine the best course of action in the case and prepare a letter of advice to the client. This will be done in the Ulster University Law Clinic using the same procedures and methods as are employed there when dealing with real cases. The module will culminate in students conducting a live client interview, to gather information about a real client's case. The module is assessed through the real client interview (competent/not yet competent) and the subsequent preparation of a letter of advice. On completion of the module, students will have acquired the skills necessary for competent legal practice and will have had experience of handling a client interview.

Legal Technology: Innovation & Informatics

Status: O

Year: 5

This module is optional

Traditional law and technology courses have looked to the regulation of new technologies, and therefore the restrictive power of law on the use and development of new technologies (in terms of privacy, intellectual property, security).
